Black Myth: Wukong Sold 20 Million Units in Its First Month

It has been revealed that Black Myth Wukong sold 20 million units in its first month across the PlayStation 5 and PC.

The information comes from Ken Kutaragi at the Toyko Game Show (via Dean Takahashi), in which a presentation slide reveals that Black Myth: Wukong sold 10 million units in its first three days and 20 million units in one month. The game also saw three million concurrent players across all platforms.

Interestingly, according to SteamID, just over 2.4 million of these concurrent players were on PC (assuming this was the 3 million peak), meaning that around 600,000 players were on PlayStation 5. That means that according to these numbers, at least for the concurrent number at least, about 80% of Black Myth: Wukong’s players were playing on PC.

20 million units in one month puts Black Myth: Wukong firmly in one of the top spots as one of the fastest-selling games to date.

According to review aggregator Metacritic, the game received generally favorable reviews from PC and PlayStation 5 users, with an 81/100 score for PC and 75/100 on PlayStation 5.

According to analyst Daniel Camilo (who also reported the 20 million number a few weeks ago), DLC for Black Myth: Wukong is expected to release sometime around Chinese New Year.

  • There weren’t 600k on playstation. The game is also on the widely used WeGame. Chinese gaming platform from Tencent. You can bet that almost everything out of that remaining 600k was there. Not on a console

  • These numbers are not surprising considering how beautiful and well developed this game is. Selling like hot cakes, The combat, art, visuals storyline, overall design is top-notch. I prefer this stylish game over elden ring or GoT. No doubt those are awesome games but Wukong just looks and plays mesmerizingly beautiful. The combat is so immersive and rewarding. Waiting for DLC eagerly.
